    Aw hon. I was a SAH mom for almost 20 years with 4 kiddos. I 100% understand. The reason you don't feel like yourself, is because you are not the old you. You are a new person in a new stage of life. I promise you, it does get better. I walked through some years of depression through miscarriages, pregnancies, and literally only talking to little people all day long. The acne is stressful, and being stressed as you know makes it worse. I promise you that you look beautiful. I do know that people telling you this doesn't change how you feel. But listen to us older girls....it will be ok. Keep talking to your doctors until you find your answers about your bloating. But rest assured, to us looking on at you, you look stinking adorable. Prayers momma. You are enough ❤️

    Oh Ayla, I am just starting to feel like myself after my second baby. She just turned 3. It takes time to build that confidence again but one thing that helped me was 1) knowing how hard my body worked to bring these beautiful babies into this world and 2) working out just for releasing endorphins to help control anxiety, and feel strong in my new mommy body. I think every mom has gone through these insecurities but always remember that you are a warrior who birthed two beautiful and healthy babies ❤️

    Oh sweet ayla.... We are here for you in any point or struggle .. I love seeing your life now and how happy you are 💞 I'm so sorry that you are having a hard time right now... I've struggled with many of the things you are going through and my heart hurts for you! Thanks for being so open and honest and share when you feel it's right 💔

    Sweet Ayla I am so sorry you are going through some struggles. I applaud you for being so vulnerable and I assure you that you're not alone in this. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for this community. All I see is a beautiful woman doing her best with an amazing husband and two precious happy girls. You deserve the best life has to offer. I will be thinking of you and all us mamas going through the same thing. ❤

    Sending love Ayla ❤️. I had my daughter through embryo adoption last year after 6.5 years of infertility. I learned about embryo adoption through your channel and am so grateful for you sharing your experience with it. My daughter is the biggest blessing and joy, but it's been rough postpartum. I've dealt with postpartum anxiety and depression, finally doing some better, but it feels like that stole some of the joy from that precious newborn time, etc. I also have Endo, and have dealt with bloating and digestive issues for years, related to it I believe. Now that I've gone through pregnancy and things have been stretched, I definitely feel I look bigger when I bloat now, and it is hard. Motherhood is the most rewarding but also hardest thing I've ever done, and it's hard to take care of yourself when you have little ones depending on you for everything. I truly hope you get some answers and relief soon! I always enjoy watching when you post, and I love how you're very relatable. You are a wonderful mom, exactly who your girls need. Hugs!

    Oh Ayla, I totally know how you feel. I’m a mom of 2 little ones and I struggle with acne too. No one realizes how much it affects your self confidence. I hope your naturopath is able to help! I would have never even noticed your acne by the way, i know it doesn’t always help when people say that but I didn’t even notice anything on your face in this video. I hope you guys have a merry Christmas and happy new year!

    For me this is just a really really hard time to “snap back” lol. I have two toddler girls too. I don’t sleep, I reach for sugary snacks to keep me going, half the time one or both kids are up at 5am so I’m just awake so long I have extra food and coffee. So I would say give yourself some grace. But I definitely am with you and I understand ❤❤

  • @angieengel714
    @angieengel714 Год назад

    Ayla…I completely understand! I have felt exactly the way you describe feeling. When I struggle with my skin, I feel so down…it is debilitating. I’m so sorry! I hope you get it all sorted out with your naturopath soon. You are truly beautiful and a wonderful Mama! Thank you for letting us see your vulnerable side!❤️

  • @pjengland286
    @pjengland286 Год назад +1

    It took me 2 years postpartum to adjust to my new body. I didn’t look like myself in pictures and I had about 20lbs more than before baby. I think it’s very hard and takes time and choice to accept and focus on health and feeling beautiful in your own skin.
    Appreciate your body and what it did and does for your babies, remember that you are beautiful as you are, AND do things that make you feel more like yourself whether that’s a hobby, friends, new clothes, whatever it is. Appreciate and take care of yourself. ❤️ Hang in there!

    Sending all the love to you. I completely understand. I feel the same way, it takes time to feel any resemblance of normal after having babies. We give our bodies to make wonderful babies, but it takes a huge adjustment to even feel slightly normal again. You're not alone ❤️

    Ayla, I have been watching your channel for years. You are a beautiful soul and your body grew two healthy children. I am sure with time it will recover. It can take a lot of energy to advocate for your health. Please hang in there. If this dr doesn’t help you seek another. I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas season. 🎄🙏🏻💗

  • @jessicamcfarland366
    @jessicamcfarland366 Год назад +1

    I def know how you feel! After my second pregnancy my health and self confidence took a hit. It’ll get better! Right now you’re all about those littles, but Mila will get bigger and you’ll have more time to devote to yourself as you should. In my experience, check your ferritin levels. Mine were almost non existent. Fixing that helped me so much. Also, for my acne I tried Tretenoin and it has done wonders for my skin. I hope this helps! You got this mama!!

    I got diagnosed with Celiac disease last year. Struggled with acne which I found out was dermititis herpetiformis from gluten. Also lots of digestive issues and symptoms that get worse as the years go on. Maybe consider taking a blood test to check your transglutaminase Iga. 😊
    Hope you feel better soon!

  • @Arilovesearth
    @Arilovesearth Год назад

    Ayla I am there with you. I am almost a year postpartum and see myself as so different. I don’t feel beautiful, I see so many things that I want to change or that used to look so different. But I don’t want my son to see me not like myself and I don’t want him to grow up with that. I am trying to gain some confidence and I understand the health aspects as someone with an autoimmune disease, my health issues have kicked my butt sometimes. I am thinking of you and want you to know that while we aren’t experiencing the same things, that I can relate. You are such a beautiful human being, please take care of yourself and remember what an amazing woman you are ❤
    Also for the acne, have you tried to cut out dairy? I have not had dairy for years because of what my skin was like. Also my sister in law gets such bad acne, when she cut out dairy it really helped.

  • @loriyensho2053

    Sending love to you. I completely relate. I am also struggling with not feeling comfortable in my own body, which also went through some big changes, especially with my second pregnancy. You are beautiful, but I know the struggle of wanting to feel more comfortable and joyful and present and all the things. ❤

    Hey Ayla, thank you so much for being open with your struggles. I also have put on some weight since having my baby and it’s so hard to stay motivated when you feel like crap. I also have endometriosis and that is my reasoning for extreme bloating. I had to give up meat completely to help with that. I love your channel and I love how honest you are. I’m sending you so much love, from NB Canada

    RUclips is sending me old videos, and first of all, compared to some of your old videos after two children, girl you look great. Second your joy and your heartbreak and your raw realness are so commendable. I'm sorry you're going through this now. Believe me, what you think you present on the outside is so outshined by what's on your inside. You care about what's bothering you, and that's what matters, but we just see contentment. Just like everything else you've conquered, I wish you the best in knowing truly that nothing, no matter how upsetting to you, is ever going to hold you back.

    Alya, know that you are Beautiful just the way you are.. whenever I get insecure, I just think how much I care about others 'defects/limitation'.. I don't! So most people don't care about our insecurities either.. so don't feel too self conscious about yourself. Your kind and warm smile is all people look at when they see you :)

    Ayla, thank you for being you! You always seem positive - even now during the vlog you were smiling and trying to bring out the positive in your situation. Wishing you well soon, as it must be very hard to be as you said trapped in your body! I wish you to feel good again very soon.
    As a skin therapist I follow Dr Dray dermatologist on RUclips - very down to earth, and provides realistic information of products (consisting of a small regimen) that work. CeraVe foaming cleanser, CeraVe moisturizing lotion, Retin A (Tretinoin/Differin, but if pregnant or breastfeeding would switch to Azelaic acid). And sunscreen always.
    Wishing you and your wonderful family another special Christmas.

    @Raenelly7 Год назад

    Endometriosis causes so many issues. Some specialists believe it’s an autoimmune disease. Bloating with Endo is AWFUL. In the groups I’m in it’s a common topic that so many are in sweats by the end of the day or haven’t been able to wear jeans for years because you wake up one size but go up a few sizes by the end of the day. The skin issues are another one, ugh! I never had issues as a teen but as an adult it’s been bad. Especially since I went on and off birth control a few times trying to suppress endo symptoms. You’re not alone❤

    First of all, I love your channel, your story of infertility (very similar to mine), and I LOVE your dream of motherhood becoming reality, TWICE! We as women can be so hard on ourselves and our bodies, we grow an entire human, we are warriors and we are strong! Idk if you exercise but that’s one thing for me I do at the end of the day that is just for me! All the ups and downs of infertility and stress and hormones had taken a toll on me mentally, physically and emotionally and I haven’t even had a child yet, you did TWICE and your beautiful babies were grown by you momma! Maybe start taking 20 minutes a day, go for a walk, I do RUclips workouts Grow with Jo and Nourish move love are amazing and nourish move love has 3 babies and talks a lot about post pardon bodies! You’re not alone momma you’re strong and beautiful don’t ever forget that!
